diagKNOWsis

diagKNOWsis was started by Trisha Torry after she was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma. It turned out that she never had lymphoma and she found this out through her, "research, networking, and the partnership (she) established with (her) second-opinion oncologist."

Now she is about.com's expert on patient empowerment. What a cool title! There is a discussion forum associated with this of course. I was drawn into an interesting thread started by Dr. L about the state of healthcare, health insurance, and the affodability of being a dr. these days. It's an anonymous forum so whether you are a physician, patient or work at an insurance company, you can add your 2 cents.

BTW - I found out about this on CNN/health. Click on the Torrey tab for Trish's article.
